Avoided crossings are common in the quasienergy spectra of strongly driven nonlinear quantum wells. In this paper we examine the sinusoidally driven particle in a square potential well to show that avoided crossings can alter the structure of Floquet states in this system. Two types of avoided crossings are identi ed: one type leads only to temporary changes (as a function of driving eld streng...

The Redox Potential of DDT: An Environmental Perspective Anne Lewis1, Christopher Cramer2, and John Bumpus Department of Chemistry and the Environmental Sciences Program University of Northern Iowa Cedar Falls, Iowa 50614 Department of Chemistry University of Minnesota Minneapolis, Minnesota Due to their low water solubility, the reduction potentials of DDT and dicofol are difficult to determin...

in order to study the sensitivity of vegetative growth to water deficit stress of a late-maturing peach (prunus persica l. cv. elberta) under orchard conditions, an experiment was conducted as randomized complete-block design with three treatments and four repetitions in shahdiran commercial orchard in mashhad during 2011. three irrigation treatments including 360 (low stress), 180 (moderate st...

Aims. The objective is to obtain the best possible set of rotational (de)-excitation state-to-state and effective rate coefficients for temperatures up to 1500 K. State-to-state rate coefficients are presented among the 20 lowest levels of para-H2O with H2( j2 = 1) and Δ j2 = 0,+2, and among the 10 lowest levels of para-H2O with H2( j2 = 3) and Δ j2 = 0,−2. Methods. Calculations are performed w...

The aim of this study was to analyse the dynamics of O(D)þH2/D2 reactions using quasiclassical trajectory calculations on a double-valued potential energy surface for H2O. Produced on the photodissociation of stratospheric ozone, the excited oxygen atom is a highly reactive species whose chemistry plays a key role in the ozone depletion cycle. In order to make comparisons with experiment, we st...

Aims. Using a newly determined 5D potential energy surface for H2–H2O we provide an extended and revised set of rate coefficients for de-excitation of the lowest 10 paraand 10 orthorotational levels of H2O by collisions with para-( j = 0) and ortho-H2( j = 1), for kinetic temperatures from 5 K to 20 K. Methods. Our close coupling scattering calculations involve a slightly improved set of couple...

it is very important to find the best model to quantify seed germination rate on the response of temperature which it can be used in determination of cardinal temperatures. this study was conducted to evaluation nonlinear regressions models for description wheat (cv. morvarid) germination rate response to temperatures and water potentials. therefore, seeds germination rate were evaluated in tem...
